The types of gas that connect to the network include coal bed methane, shale gas and biomethane. The process for connecting these gases is exactly the same however this guide primarily focuses on biomethane.

Whoever your supplier is, our pipes deliver gas safely, reliably and efficiently to every one of our customers. It s your gas, in our network. We believe that the gas distribution networks will continue to play a crucial role in the domestic heating market and will provide the most cost-effective path for low-carbon transition with significant social benefits in terms of energy security and fuel poverty. SGN Distributed Guide 3
3 The existing gas network The UK benefits from one of the most extensive gas networks in the world which transports the energy to heat almost 85% of UK homes and the vast majority of industrial buildings. consumption greatly exceeds electricity consumption in UK homes, particularly during colder months. Natural gas is safe, reliable and convenient for rapid space and water heating. It can also assist those living in fuel poverty as a result of the low relative costs of gas compared to alternative heating systems. Who is involved in the gas market? The process of connecting any distributed gas to the network involves a number of parties, where commercial and contractual arrangements are required to be in place. The diagram illustrates this: Producers are responsible for producing the gas. The gas produced must meet the quality requirements set out in the Safety (Management) Regulations The producers must secure sales of their gas with a shipper before it can be injected into the grid. shippers convey gas in the pipeline network by contracting with gas transporters, such as SGN. shippers must have a Shippers Licence before taking part in any gas shipping actions. Distributed gas producer purchase contract Network Entry... Connection transporters own and operate the gas distribution network, using the infrastructure to transport the gas from producer to end consumer. Transporters may take responsibility for quality testing and gas metering. shipper Uniform Network Code transporter Suppliers are responsible for customer interaction and provide an interface for consumers to purchase their gas. Suppliers must have a Retailer Licence before engaging in any consumer contract. supplier customer Customers purchase gas for residential, commercial or individual use. They contract directly with gas suppliers to secure their gas. Greening the gas We refer to any source of sustainable and low-carbon gas as green gas. This can include substitute gas and hydrogen however currently most of the focus and growth is around biomethane. Biomethane is derived from biogas which is produced by anaerobic digestion. During this process, organic material is broken down in the absence of oxygen to produce biogas and digestate, a nutrient-rich fertiliser. Feed Slurry or manure Energy crops Fertiliser Collection pit Biowaste Digestion residue storage storage The most efficient use for this biogas is to clean it up and inject it into the gas network. Biomethane is regarded as a low-cost and scalable form of renewable and low carbon heat, which can help towards the country s energy goals. There are a number of independent studies which have shown the gas networks can be a major component of a low carbon energy system. We also know from our own research people are generally happy using gas for heating and so if Digester Biomethane fuelling station The gas to grid process using anaerobic digestion with farm feedstocks Biogas treatment plant To natural gas network we can decarbonise the gas flowing to people s homes, this then saves households from switching to other more expensive forms of low carbon heat in the future while allowing carbon targets to be met. Biomethane injection projects are currently supported by the government s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) which offers incentives to develop renewable heat technologies. The RHI is absolutely vital for green gas projects. How it works Biomethane for injection into the gas network is produced by cleaning and upgrading biogas that has been created through either an anaerobic digestion or gasification process. The biomethane may need propane to be added by the biogas producer to ensure it has the required energy content, prior to injecting into the network. To ensure the biomethane meets the requirements for the gas grid, it passes from the producer s plant through a Network Entry Facility where it is checked for both gas quality and energy content, before being metered and odorised to give it the characteristic smell. Before being injected into the gas network the biomethane must be sold to a gas shipper. Ofgem can provide details of licensed shippers. The Network Entry Facility can either be installed by us or the biomethane producer under the guidance of our Functional Design Specification (SGN/SP/BIO/2). If installed by the producer we will adopt as a minimum the Remotely Operated Valve (ROV), the Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) and the connecting pipeline to the network. The diagram overleaf illustrates the equipment and potential ownership in a Network Entry Facility. It does not reflect the actual layout of the equipment on-site. 4 SGN Distributed Guide SGN Distributed Guide 5

Biomethane is considered a reliable source of energy, providing it meets all of the Safety (Management) Regulations (GS(M)R) 1996, which stipulate the quality of the gas that is acceptable. The amount of energy released when a volume of gas is burned is measured by the Calorific Value (CV) of the gas and must comply with The Calculation of Thermal Energy Regulations 1996 ( (COTE)R). Some gases have a lower CV than natural gas and in order not to disadvantage customers some enrichment may be required to be added to raise the CV. This will be site-specific, based on the feedstock and equipment being used. As with natural gas, the supply must be odorised so leakages can be detected. How to get connected In order for you to get connected to our network there are a number of steps that need to be followed: Initial Enquiry Form an indicative view on the potential for the distribution network to accept the entry capacity Capacity Study Undertake a detailed analysis of the distribution network to understand the drivers to deliver gas to the network Appendix 1 at the back of this guide provides an overview of the Distributed Process. There are a number of governmental bodies, who have responsibilities in the gas sector: The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) accountable for primary legislation of gas, such as the 1986 and 1995 Act, the Completion Act 1998, the Calculation of Thermal Energy Regulations 1996 and the GS(M)R 1996 mentioned above. The Office of and Electricity Markets (Ofgem) is responsible for the economic regulation of the gas market. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is responsible for the health and safety of the gas sector. The Uniform Network Code (UNC), a set of guidelines for all gas industry members that allows for market competitiveness, states that the biomethane producer must enter into a Network Entry (NEA) before gas may be injected into the grid. Adopted Entry Facility The delivery facility operator can design, procure and install the approved Entry equipment for the adoption of specific items by us or Feasibility Study Optional detailed technical study on the physical arrangements and estimated cost of making an entry connection by us For more information please see the useful references page at the back of this guide. s Formal agreement to undertake the work through a Network Connection (NCA) and Network Entry (NEA) 6 SGN Distributed Guide SGN Distributed Guide 7
5 Initial Enquiry The Initial Enquiry will provide the customer with an indicative view on the suitability of our distribution network to accept the volume of distributed gas indicated in the customer s submission. This service is free of charge. The Initial Enquiry response will include: The location of the main(s) in relation to the site The pressure of the main(s) The diameter and material of the main(s) The suitability of the main(s) to accept the volume of distributed gas. We will aim to provide this information within 15 working days from receipt of the Enquiry. Capacity Study The Capacity Study report builds on the information provided under the earlier Initial Enquiry response and develops detailed network analysis on a specific site location to understand any potential constraints on the distribution network. The Capacity Study report is chargeable and we will provide a quotation to undertake this work. The Capacity Study report will include: Location of the site Network schematics Photographs and maps, where appropriate Detailed information on the available capacity Any other relevant information. We will aim to issue the study within 30 working days of the receipt of an acceptance. Feasibility Study or Adopted Entry Facility There are now two choices that can be taken at this stage: 1. You can design and install the facility following the guidance in our Functional Design Specification (FDS), at the end of which we will adopt specific items of equipment; or 2. We can provide you with a Feasibility Study to carry out the design, procurement and installation of the Entry Facility. If you decide to follow the adopted route for the entry facility we will provide you with an FDS (SGN/SP/BIO/2) which gives you the technical requirements we would expect the facility to adhere to. Once the facility has been constructed, validated and commissioned we will adopt, as a minimum, the following pieces of equipment: Remotely Operated Valve Remote Telemetry Unit Connecting pipeline to our network. We support the competitive provision of any connecting pipeline; information on independent connection providers who hold Industry Registration Scheme (GIRS) membership can be found at the following website: Following a request for a Feasibility Study, we will provide a quotation and upon receipt of an acceptance, carry out a technical assessment to determine the physical arrangement of the entry compound and the connecting pipeline to our distribution network, if applicable. The Feasibility Study will also provide an indication of the costs involved in installing the entry facility equipment and the connection to the network where one has been requested. The estimated timescale for completion of the Feasibility Study is 10 weeks but is dependent on the project complexity. s As previously indicated two scenarios exist for the construction of an Entry Facility and they both need to have a and Network Entry in place with us before gas can flow into our network. The two scenarios are described in more detail below. SGN Constructed Entry Facility Where we have been asked to construct the facility and, subject to a satisfactory Feasibility Study, we will prepare and issue for signature a. The will form the contractual arrangements to proceed with the detailed design and build of the project. The sets out both parties obligations for the on-site works associated with the physical entry connection into the gas distribution network. The operates on a cost pass through basis, inclusive of overheads. The construction phase will proceed after completion of the unless the developer terminates the agreement in accordance with its terms. We will have provided an estimate for the construction stage based on the findings of the Feasibility Study and payment is usually in the form of stage payments (subject to credit status) which reflect the cash flow requirements of the works, with a final reconciliation to be made after completion. Other costs such as easement payments to land owners to secure the pipeline route, unforeseen costs (such as poor ground conditions), and costs due to the actions of third parties or a change to the agreed scope of work are added to the base cost. We will provide the relevant documents to support such costs and, where applicable, programme changes. Adopted Entry Facility In the case of the Adopted Entry Facility a will require to be signed between both parties to ensure the installation is fit for adoption and has been designed and constructed in accordance with the FDS. The installation will also require validation and commissioning. There will be a charge associated with this process, which will form part of the agreement. As with the SGN-constructed entry facility other costs such as easement payments to land owners to secure the pipeline route, unforeseen costs (such as poor ground conditions), and costs due to the actions of third parties or a change to the agreed scope of work are added to the base cost. We will provide the relevant documents to support such costs and, where applicable, programme changes. Network Entry A Network Entry (NEA) sets out the technical and operational conditions for the connection. The NEA is agreed between the Delivery Facility Operator (DFO) and us and is normally discussed with the future operator of the Entry Facility in parallel with the connection process. As part of the Network Entry a risk assessment of gas quality (SGN/PM/GQ8) must be undertaken to understand more fully the implications on the distribution network. The timescales to complete these elements of the project can vary depending on the project complexity. 8 SGN Distributed Guide SGN Distributed Guide 9
